Topics regarding layoffs at Honeywell International Inc.

Why bother at all?

We work so hard each day, we give it our all, and for what? For a company that uses us up without recognition, steps all over us instead of rewarding our work, and then discards so many of its best like yesterday's trash. HON lost all of its core... — read more

iManage still on?

Is that farcical iManage thing still on? At least a few very good managers were "managed out" of their respective organizations back in late 2019.

Sense of dread

Why do I feel such a sense of dread approaching mid year reviews this year. I have always had good reviews but feel different this year. Apparently there was some requirement to start having career conversations. I was half expecting HR to be on... — read more 

Working on autopilot?

Leadership tolerance of unethical/ borderline unethical business practices. Arrogance at the top and in other key managerial positions. Unattainable business goals. No concern by leadership about losing talented employees, including WFH... — read more 

I don't get some folks

A coworker who was laid off in the last round still sings the praises of Honeywell. For him, it was unfortunate that he was affected but he didn't see it as anything personal. He was satisfied with his job before that and he claims being laid off... — read more 

Admired and respected companies

We have all seen the emails about surveys naming Honeywell as one of the world's most admired and respected companies. Where does Honeywell stand in a survey of the most corrupt and loathed companies?

What was going on around me?

I retired about a year ago. In my 30+ years I always got good reviews,,,,until the final one. Something changed. My boss turned into a monster. He would use harsh, demeaning statements at our monthly one on one. He would make up allegations... — read more 

Maybe in addition to vision they also lack courage?

HW needs a road map. Without vision this company is going nowhere. Vision should be bold, vivid and concrete, however, leadership is planned only from quarter to quarter. The vision forward is only one quarter. Maybe they should take some bolder... — read more 

This is how you survive this place

Make sure you do your job and do it well. Take pride in what you have accomplished, but make sure never to do any extra work or never to add any undue stress. It is not worth it. Keep your head down and just focus on yourself. The first chance you... — read more 

Olden Days

It seems that they are doing this ALL WRONG! It is the "Old Timers" (north of 55) who, for the most part, are what is NEEDED to keep HW afloat. We, myself included, have that old school mentality to show up for work everyday, on time, do quality... — read more

You KNOW things are bad when people have two fears: one is of being laid off and another of NOT being laid off. I can't tell you how many people have told me they are terrified of being laid off but they are still hoping their name is on the next... — read more 

Losing friends

When you’ve been here for years your coworkers end up being your friends outside of work. But when layoffs happen that seems to change. I've lost count of people I used to hang out regularly with who stopped returning my calls after they've been laid... — read more 

Managers scrambling over return to office

My mgr has been too busy to talk for weeks. I get the sense that mgrs know this return is going to be a mess. They had a year to fix the outdated open office plan disaster. Now they have no answers to basic questions.

The final result of such management?

Consolidate sites, move work to EM, contract manufacturing = fewer US Hon badge employees. The goal still remains - pay less for labor. This has priority over anything else. Second, reduce inventory. I wonder what the long-term results of this... — read more

Unjustly put on PIP

How not to be frustrated when they put on PIP a man worth more than 3 people who are safe? How many such people do you know? What is the message for hardworking people here - not to do anything more than the bare minimum??? I just wonder what... — read more 

Cobra Premium Assistance

Got my letter today and called right away. I talked to a representative that was very nice and knew what she was talking about. They ask 3 questions: were you involuntarily laid off, is other coverage available (spouse) and are you on Medicare. The... — read more 

Can we go just a few days without layoffs/closings?

Constant layoffs news and closing announcements are getting rather exhausting. There's no break, no time to recuperate. Every week it's something new. With all of that, I'm surprised morale is not even worse than it is. It's really hard to keep it... — read more

How marketable are your skills?

I’ve been looking for a new job for too long, and it’s getting less and less bearable here, so I’m pretty frustrated. I regret that I allowed myself to stay at HW for so long, because I think that is one of the big reasons why I don't have... — read more 

Are there any good managers left?

As far as I can see the good ones are long gone, and literally everyone that I keep in touch with from other organizations has low opinions about the managers. Is there anyone that is satisfied with their manager?

Morale still at an all time low

I have been a faithful and dedicated employee where I had made sacrifices even to the extent of parting with my family for long periods of time for the sake of my job and the company. In the years that I have given to this company, never have I felt... — read more
